Purity

By: Skyler Mason

Narrated by: Tyler Johnson, Savannah Peachwood

What happens when a shy virgin raised in purity culture asks her gorgeous, player best friend to take her V-card?

I’ve been in love with Cole Walker since the first day he walked into class and sat beside me. Who could blame me? Six foot five, gorgeous, and a sweetheart to boot. He’s charming enough to get any girl he wants.

The plan was to make him fall in love with me, get married, and give him all my firsts.

Too bad he’s never once looked at me that way. I don’t know how to flirt, and I’ve been stuck in the friendzone for years.

I’m 21 now. And this summer, I’m going to ask him to take my V-card with no strings attached.

But when I tell Cole my request, his reaction is not what I expect. He’s furious and over-the-top protective. He won’t touch me, but apparently, no one else can either. It doesn’t make any sense.

Until we share a kiss that makes the world stand still, and I begin to wonder…maybe I’ve misread him all along.

Critic reviews

"I devoured this book! The premise, the steam, the swoons—all of it is pitch-perfect. For those of us who've been in Livvy's shoes, Purity is as healing as it is delicious." (Sierra Simone, USA Today best-selling author of Priest)

"A dazzling, and perfectly over-the-top romance book that tackles sexual liberation. Every moment in Purity was romance perfection. Kudos to Skylar Mason for writing such a brave, yet fun novel." (Carla, The Lit Buzz)

Sweet

Friends to lovers with a bit of what religious trauma can do. Great novella and 1 out of 5 🌶 .

Cloe saying WHAT THE FUCK

It was a nice short read. Sexy and nice to see a fl with a brain

Purity

I haven't even finished this book yet but I LOVE it and it's so heartfelt and SEXY and longing and I just can't. I love it.

Good story

The story was a little bit steamy, had potential to be way more so. But overall was a good, angsty, quick read.
The female narrator was great as usual. I do not care for the robotic male narrator. His voice is good as well as his female voice, however he speaks very stilted and roboticlly. He is definitely not a voice actor.

So Real

Maybe I'm biased because my favorite trope is friends to lovers, but this felt very grounded in reality. I related to this tale a little too much. The conflicts and apprehensions; the pining. Just humans having a human experience.
